I am far from an expert on the reaction of burglars.
I would guess and bet money that 99% of the average burglar will beat a hasty retreat the second they realize a homeowner is awake and armed. My revolver will not make any noise until I pull the trigger. Again 99% of the bad guys will be arseholes and elbows and be gone in seconds.
In the movies and TV the bad guys keep coming. If they think you have drugs or lots of cash or gold or something easy to steal they might. Those are often home invasions.
I don't do drugs, and I don't know any drug dealers at all. I don't have gambling or have large sums of cash around. Odds are low that anyone would see my house as a home invasion target.
We all want to be prepared for the worst, and hope we never have to use that protection.
